Exactly my point.

Nowadays the only type of stockholder that would more likely behave as the textbook descriptions is probably just family-owned businesses.

Strategic corps with gov't interests (airlines, etc?) are probably also likely to do this, provided the gov't/country is not fraught with corruption...
